The results of this paper show that the use of WGS variants located within or close to QTL regions can improve the prediction accuracy of parasite resistance compared to using variants selected from the high-density SNP panel. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | WCGALP 2018: 11th World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production, Auckland, New Zealand, 11th - 16th February, 2018 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production, v.11, p. 1-9 | Publisher: | Massey University | Place of Publication: | Palmerston North, New Zealand | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300305 Animal reproduction and breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830310 Sheep - Meat | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 100412 Sheep for meat | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.wcgalp.org/proceedings/2018 |
